Mysore kennel Club - Dog Show Feb 16 2006

This was a day full of surprises. Firstly,I lost a 256 mb memory stick which my friend had gifted me . To add to this, my camera gradually started going out of focus and by the end of the show died a sudden death. It is now under repair and the estimation given is sure to make me poorer by a couple of grands. When I returned home a lil dejected, I was pleasantly surprised to see a family friend who had come down from the US after 10 long years.

Basset Hound




Pug . 'The Hutch Dog'

In a sorry state ...

Sankey tank situated in the midst of Malleshwaram.Vyalikaval & Sadhashivnagar is one among the numerous lakes in Bangalore city. Due to the rain fury last August and mainly improper planning the lake is in a very sorry state today.




Bengalooru Mahanagara Palike had spent close to 4 crore rupees in 2004 on beautification of the lake.




The mini bridge along the 1700 meter jogging track, the landscaping, the boating jetty , the sturdy iron railings contributed to the fact that it was frequented by scores of people everyday.




As early as 5 in the morning health conscious Bangloreans made this place a part of their daily routine.




These lawns were the perfect platform for yoga , meditation or just free excercises.




Be it early in the morning or late evening sankey used to be a bee hive of activities. I myself used to frequent this place in the mornings . An old post




A beautiful sunset




You can blame it on nature's fury or the negligence of the BMP officials the lake is in this state.




Even after 5 months after the heavy rains it remains submerged in water which acts as a threat to the health of people in the surrounding areas as it is a breeding ground for mosquitos and other pests.




What was once full of life is now a desolate grave'water'yard.




The restoration work is going on at a snails pace with the cobble stones being laid on the joggers track.






With the new government in place and a youthful chief minister Kumarswamy holding the reins, I wish the BMP officials pull up their socks and speeden the work. I cant wait to see the splendour of the lake restored to its original glory.



Until then ...
